Study Notes
Storage Systems
- Single-deep storage allows full access to all storage locations, enabling fast storage and retrieval, but has low storage density.
- Double-deep storage has higher storage density than single-deep storage, but has slower storage and retrieval.
- Multi-deep storage has high storage density and can be classified into drive-in storage and drive-through storage.
- Drive-in storage operates with conventional forklift trucks, loads are lifted above storage height prior to entering the rack, and retrieval is in reverse order from the same side.
- Drive-through storage operates with conventional forklift trucks, loads are lifted above storage height prior to entering the rack, and retrieval is from the opposite side of the channel (FIFO).
Functions of Storage
- Buffer function: uncoupling and matching volatile streams of demand and supply, a necessity in supply chains.
- Safeguard function: ensuring the availability of material, a necessity in supply chains.
- Assorting function: order picking, adding value to the storage process.
- Speculation function: betting on rising prices of inventory, adding value to the storage process.
- Refinement function: storage as part of the production process, adding value to the storage process.
